Wasn't Oracle's point that "at runtime" includes other dalvik byte codes being run?
Authored by: bugstomper on Tuesday, May 08 2012 @ 07:01 AM EDT
Sorry that I don't have the links to it - maybe someone else will come up with
it - but didn't Oracle end up trying to say that the references were resolved
"at runtime" because some step in dexopt makes use of the Dalvik VM
and "at runtime" is defined as being at the time that any VM object
code instructions are being run?

Is this the claim which had the issue about what "at runtime" means?
Google constructed it as being when _the_ object code instructions were being
run, Judge Alsup changed that to _any_ object code instructions because
"the" didn't make sense to him, and this might show why
"the" is important - Google would claim that the patent talks about an
optimization performed on the fly during execution of the object code
instructions that are being optimized, which would not count other uses of the
Dalvik VM with other object code instructions as being "at runtime".
